#BonnClimateConference 2024 #MidCop waiting for the formal kickoff.
Whilst waiting I’ve been looking at this, a document assessing competing bids to host the Santiago Network unfccc.int/santiago-netwo… which was finally agreed to go forward - to. E operationalised - at COP27 in Sharm-el-Sheikh. Image
The history of the “Loss & Damages” work program within the UNFCCC post the Paris Treaty is somewhat fraught politically which makes the decision making process on this question politically interesting. And the increasing incidence of weather disasters needing a “loss & damages”… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
(Note - there is now movement on stage here in #BonnClimateConference) ImageImage
As previously mentioned, recent history in relation to Loss & Damages makes the subject politically complicated. Especially given that the two contenders for the role come from opposite ends of the geopolitical spectrum.
The Glasgow COP26 in particular resulted in a very significant disappointment for the developing world when a Scottish Govt “Loss & Damages” facility was dropped on the final night following opposition from developed nations. This was only reversed in Sharm at COP27 after a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Thé meeting has now started and UNFCCC Exec Sec. Simon Stiell has just raised the subject of getting the Loss & Damages work underway at the top of his speech. ImageImage
“We need to show that the era of implementation (of the Paris Agreement) has begun.”

Earlier Stiell said that we (humanity) are at a “tipping point” following a long gestational period of COPs. (which did not deliver enough action). Image
After remarks from the SBSTA chair we are now hearing from the SBI (Subsidiary body on implementation) chair who hails from Pakistan where there was a massive flood last year affecting 33 million people. Image
“When we arrived in Egypt Loss & Damages was not even on the Agenda and yet we ended up with a result.” Image
This plenary meeting is about agreeing on the Agenda for this #BonnClimateConference. Apparently it is not yet agreed.
The expectations for the agenda for this meeting was set out in a note to the conference some time ago.

Note that it’s not unusual for their to be disagreements on the Agenda in COP Meetings.

The consensus based decision making process makes agreement on the work program… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Classic COP they can’t even agree on the Agenda. But have agreed to begin nevertheless and come back to the Agenda later after consultations.

I’m going to move to check out the Loss & Damages session which I am now wondering whether it’s one of the agenda items in dispute.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This forensic @cnn video presented by @kaitlancollins - detailing the events leading up to the 10 Shot attack on Minnesota Medic Alex Pretti is devastating and ought to be enough to seal the deal and END ICE now.

Collins copresses Trump over concerns from Epstein survivors youtube.com/shorts/IHXnZDw… via @YouTube

Her reporting on the Minnesota killing of Doctor
For the wider picture this from Nicole Wallace is also superb.

Finally CNNs Kaitlan Collins coverage of Epstein is also superb - especially her interview with one of the survivors advocates.

It appears that the insane and deeply evil manipulations emanating from the white house & Justice Department related to the now (but not really) released Epstein files are a complete cover up. Not only are survivors names unredacted effectively putting a target on their backs (my words not from the report….

… but the witness testimonies from survivors are in some cases maybe most of them - completely redacted.
Whilst driving today I listened to a lot of extraordinarily good reporting about mostly #ICE+MURDER & Intimidation the open congressional hearing is particularly good including astonishing accounts from other victims of ICE that are simply terrifying.

The U.S. constitution appears to be holding up at this point. But the drip drip of the Epstein files means President Donald Trump is looking increasingly impeachable and this will almost certainly trigger the begining of a premature end of @realDonaldTrump’s presidency. /1
Subpoenas of internal justice department officials will likely be the next step. And as there is bipartisan agreement on this there is no “get out of jail free” card on the table for those implicated in this horror show. /2
As the net closes in on the growing number of investigation suspects in this widening gyre it is becoming increasingly likely that the impact of this political events in the U.S.Capitol on politics across the entire U.S. will be seismic in scale.

This @nytimes New York Times report is startling in its implications. Trump appears to have won the dominance contest OVER @IsraeliPM Netanyahu, who has been it seems diminished within Israel politically as a consequence of @realDonaldTrump’s interventions.

I, for one hope very much that he succeeds in his objectives.
Very importantly Trump is holding the line on extremist Israeli efforts to annex the West Bank. Should Trump hold course the possibility of a real long term 2 state solution - with Israeli and Palestinian cooperation may yet come into view.

This from Max Blumenthal

:
Netanyahu’s Desperate PANIC & Massive Cover-Up Exposed via @YouTube
FWIW Max I think the next step is to look more closely at the Magdeburg and New Orléans terror attacks…. The Magdeburg one is especially suspicious abd the new Orléans one accompanied by Elon musk’s cyber car explosion are both linked to Elon.

He tweeted “only AFD can save germany” both before and after the Magdeburg attack
And the New Orleans attack modus operandi was almost identical to the attack in New Orleans

This made me cry …. Tears streaming down my face. This is so very sad.

#Gazaunderattack
#GazaUnderFire
If @realDonaldTrump chooses to join Netanyahu’s genocidal campaign if he is not obeyed …. he WILL find himself indicted in the international criminal court in The Hague.

And he will then have to make a decision on whether he is willing to remain in the U.S.
@realDonaldTrump Should he proceed as he has intimated that he should now be pursued by protestors everywhere he goes.
